Rear Load Trucks

A Rear Load Garbage Truck refers to those with an opening in the back, or rear.  Some models of this type of Trash Trucks require a worker to manually load the trash, while others have a lifting mechanism that is used to automatically empty the garbage bins.  These Garbage Trucks include a hydraulic compactor, which enables the truck to collect more before having to be emptied.

History of Rear Load Garbage Trucks

A Rear Load Garbage Truck is arguably the most recognizable form of Trash Collection vehicle on the road.  It was first developed in the 1920s, and by 1938 the Garwood Load Packer was developed, which was the first garbage truck to use hydraulics to compress the garbage.  The rear load garbage truck remained a popular vehicle for Garbage Pick Up until the 1980s, and has remained relatively unchanged over the past 50 years.

What to Look for When Purchasing Rear Load Trash Trucks?

Although most Rear Load Garbage Trucks for Sale are quite similar, there are a few factors to consider when looking at Trash Trucks for Sale.  You need to consider how fast the truck is able to compress the waste, which impacts how quickly you can move from one pick up to the next.  Another important consideration when looking at Garbage Trucks for Sale is its size and whether it would comply with any size or weight restrictions.  And finally, another thing to think about when looking at a trash truck for sale is how much trash you need the truck to accommodate.  There are models with larger bodies and hoppers available if needed and other models are able to compact the trash into smaller space, enabling you to have longer routes.
